Doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Provided sources seem promotional and trivial. For example, this source is just a political agenda. Chamith  (talk)  06:47, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - doesn't satisfy WP:MUSBIO. Dan arndt (talk) 07:36, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose Delete - this famous Hip Hop & R&B artist is yet to win a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award, but the article will be enhanced in the future. DilJco (talk) 01:35, 4 August 2015 (UTC) User:DilJco is the creator of this article. Disclosure added per WP:AFDFORMAT
 * Please clarify the statement "is yet to win a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award". Is he currently nominated? If so, you would surely be able to find sources I assume. Or are you just making false claims to askew this discussion towards "keep"? -- Chamith   (talk)  05:32, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * "is yet to win a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award" - doesn't necessarily mean that he is currently nominated (awaiting to be won - may win, may not win, will never win - uncertainty?). Definitely he is not currently nominated. If nominated in future (who knows) no assumptions, will be able to multiply sources exponentially. No intention of false claims to drag this discussion towards "keep". "Nawodya who is in Computer Industry is yet to win Computer Pioneer Award" doesn't necessarily mean Nawodaya is currently nominated. DilJco (talk) 05:00, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * If you refer to WP:CRYSTALL you would see that Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. It's an encyclopedia, not a crystal ball where we predict what would happen next. -- Chamith   (talk)  05:03, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * - Wikipedia is definitely an encyclopedia, for the whole communities in the world. I am not begging for a crystal ball from Wikipedia or from you to that matter. Subject is has already got verifiable sources.DilJco (talk) 01:55, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Of course you don't have to beg for anything. Did I imply something like that in my last comment? I don't think so. I was just merely debunking your theory which justifies even I can have a Wikipedia article claiming that "I'm going to win Turing Award so I'm notable enough". Which is just an unconfirmed speculation. Could you please provide some links to these "verifiable links" you are talking about? At least enough sources to prove that the subject satisfies WP:MUSICBIO? And please do mind that sources also have to be reliable -- Chamith   (talk)  02:15, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - might I suggest that if that is the case then the article maybe premature and should be re-created when there is sufficient references to establish notability. Dan arndt (talk) 02:30, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - subject is very popular & notable in Sri Lankan culture (may be premature & not even heard in other communities)DilJco (talk) 05:00, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * If the subject is popular among Sri Lankans then why even a simple Google search doesn't come up with any reliable local articles about him? Probably because he is not notable like other Sri Lankan artists such as BnS, Iraj, W. D. Amaradeva? -- Chamith   (talk)  05:16, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * - subject doesn't have to be a BnS, Iraj, W. D. Amaradeva to be on Wikipedia with verifiable sources. None of those artists are no way near Michael Jackson if compared. It doesn't mean that those articles should be deleted or a volunteer can't create an article.DilJco (talk) 01:55, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That's the whole point. He doesn't have to be like those artists. What I was trying to point out is that they at least meet general notability guideline and WP:MUSICBIO. But sadly, this article doesn't -- Chamith   (talk)  02:15, 6 August 2015 (UTC)


 * delete definitely fails MUSICBIO. dilJco presents some very weak reasoning for keep. LibStar (talk) 22:40, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unremarkable individual, the two in-line references only mention him in passing.-- obi2canibe talk contr 14:36, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - this article is a complete mess haha! Most CERTAINLY fails WP:MUSICBIO. Ovo16 (talk) 14:29, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
